If you have been wondering what the deal is with the Dodgeball league in Hoboken, I checked out a game last spring and it looks like a blast.
Zogsports is a sports activity group that donates a portion of its proceeds to charity. Chris Corban runs the newly created New Jersey chapter of Zogsports and lives right here in Hoboken.
You can join with a group of friends to form you own team or you can be assigned to a team. They play on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights at a local school gym. They have a few divisions based on how serious you are from ultra competetive to the just having fun. After the games they get together at a local bar for some drinks.
The balls are very soft, so nobody got hurt playing the game. The object is to eleminate your competition by hitting them with soft nurf-like dodge balls. If you hit an opponent, he or she has to leave the game. If you catch a ball that is thrown at you, the person who threw it has to leave the game and you can allow one of your team mates back in.
There was a diverse range of people involved but it was mostly people in their 20's to early 30's. If you are a single women looking to meet young athletic guys, I would highly recomend this event as there were a lot more guys than girls attending and most of them were the young, athletic type.
